HMBS Nassau (P-61) is one of two patrol boats, with HMBS Bahamas (P-60), operated by the Bahamian military. Like her sister ship, Nassau is armed with several heavy Browning M2 .50 caliber machine guns and a light auto cannon. She is commonly used for capturing illegal immigrants (particularly from Haiti), anti-piracy and smuggling missions, hurricane relief, search and rescue, routine patrols, and assisting maritime police.
